Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing an electric kettle?
Electric kettles are relatively inexpensive appliances, but repair is often worthwhile for premium brands or when the issue is simple (thermostat, switch). Our technicians will advise you on whether repair or replacement makes more economic sense.
Why does my kettle turn on but not heat?
This is usually caused by a burnt-out heating element, faulty thermostat, or broken power connection. Our technicians can quickly diagnose and replace the faulty component.
Why won't my kettle turn off automatically?
This indicates a thermostat or auto shut-off mechanism failure. This is a safety issue that should be repaired promptly to prevent dry boiling and potential fire hazards.
How can I extend my electric kettle's lifespan?
Descale regularly, avoid boiling when empty, clean the exterior with a damp cloth, and store in a dry place. These simple habits can double your kettle's lifespan and maintain heating efficiency.
